Jess and Andrew met while at the University of Virginia. She studied Global Public Health and Spanish, and he studied History and Spanish. They felt the Lord leading them to serve among secular Spanish people, and applied with AG World Missions the month after getting married. They were sent to Granada in 2017 and have served there since. Their daughter Nora was born in 2021 and their son James in 2024.

They serve on a church planting team whose mission is to plant communities of faith among the secular peoples of Spain. For a host of cultural, historical, and sociological reasons, about 1% of Spanish people know Jesus. Their team is committed to planting an indigenous community of faith in Granada among the warm, kind, but gospel-resistant Spanish people. Part of their platform for ministry into the community is a Christian cultural center called Raíces Centro Cultural, which they run alongside a small but growing church plant called Granada Comunidad Cristiana.

They seek to connect with all sorts of people, from university students to people on the street who stop to see their cute little baby. They rejoice to see people growing as disciples of Jesus. Their current term ended this spring and they are back to the States while they connect with individuals and churches. They plan to return to Spain next year.

Please pray:

For the Lord to raise up local leadership in the church plant. Specifically pray for a married couple, Andrea and Migue, who have sensed the Lord calling them to greater responsibility and who are stepping up during the Foster’s absence.

For the lost in Granada to hear about this community of faith, to have the courage to come and see, and to be transformed by the power of the gospel.

For the provision of funds as we itinerate.

For Andrew's dad as he continues to navigate treatment for brain cancer.
